Kool Earth Corner

Last May 22, 2011, Kool Earth President Chita Heap, Sec. Megs Lunn and one of KE Consultants, Col. Hamish M. Adams (Ret) were invited to the secretariat meeting of the Aklan Provincial Planning Development, headed by Engr. Roger Esto and chairman of the Aklan River Development team led by former congressman, Atty. Allen S. Quimpo.

The meeting was for Kool Earth to present ‘An Evaluation of the Relative Merits of Producing Electrical Power’ in Aklan Province by Biomass Compared to Other Forms of Renewable Energy. To shorten the presentation, Col. Adams, who made the presentation for Kool Earth, gave a summary on the proposed Hydro Electric Power Station for Aklan the River in Dalagsaan, Libacao.

Two days before the invitation, Pres. Chita and Col. Adams made a courtesy call to Atty. Allen S. Quimpo, to explain the five (5) Advantages of the Hydroelectric Project which are as follows: 1.A More reliable and much cheaper power supply for the residents of Panay, resulting in fewer ’brown outs’, 2.A Reduction in the burden on the National Grid, 3. Enablement of the authorities to control the downstream flow of water in the Aklan River, 4.Enablement of an improved irrigation for Aklan, 5. Drinking and Irrigation Water Supply for Iloilo Province. Upon hearing of these advantages, Atty. Allen was delighted. As a consequence KE movers were invited to the meeting./TE

KE LIVELIHOOD PROGRAM

Barangay Pook - Socialize and learn about new ways to make money. The Rural Improvement Club of Pook (RICP) under the presidency of Ms. Estrella de la Cruz, invited members of the Samahan ng Mga Kababaihan sa Bayan ng Kalibo (SKBK) to their social morning held at the Material Recovery Facility of Kool Earth in Pook, on May 10, 2011.

The President of the Rural Improvement Club of Estancia, Kagawad Amelyn P. Fernandez, some of the members of RICE and Ms. Josephine Icasas, Agricultural Techologist, joined the group to undertake a special demo on how to make ‘puto’ using squash, a local produce that is very easy to grow and inexpensive to buy. The morning was spent in exchanging views and ideas and enjoying social interaction whilst cooking the ‘puto using steaming method.

What they learned from the session inspired the thirty four women to further discussion and planning on when, how and where they would continue this venture. Many of the women realized that even urban gardening can be useful as they do not need to spend too many hours weeding their gardens. They realized too that being able to do what the RIC officials had shown them, they could make money without leaving their homes and their children. Being able to make their own income the women realized that they would no longer be always dependent on their men. In fact they could help their husbands to augment their income.

The women also realized that making vegetables into something appetizing would encourage not only the children but also the adults who had never appreciated the nutritious value of vegetables in their diet.These women showed that they have brains, and that the opportunity to utilize them, they can produce something useful. Women are not only creative but they are also hard working. They are the strength of the human species. /TE
